Abstract

Overall, In the thesis examines in-depth indications of the De-growth theory for urban planing, and draws spatial implications from that. The chosen case study is the city of Rotterdam; known for its growing harbour, and its top-down and growth-based paradigm of urban development. The goal of the thesis to link economic and environmentally oriented theory to urban planing strategies, via researching possible transformation solutions, and optimizing them for specific locations.
